Evigia Systems Inc. a provider of high-functionality and cost-effective integrated wireless and sensing products announced the introduction of a new active-passive mobile RFID platform.

This platform is based on the EV3 ISO18000-7 active RFID platform and MC9090g RFID Gen2 rugged handheld interrogator. The new EV3-HHI-PAB platform is expected to provide a new level of asset tracking performance and capability.

In a release Navid Yazdi, Evigia's chief executive officer said, "The introduction of Evigia's active-passive mobile platform is another indication of our commitment to lead the RFID industry with products that provide superior functionality and performance to government and commercial end-users."

"This mobile platform provides the benefits of both DASH7 active RFID and EPC Gen 2 passive RFID technologies. This enables end-to-end item-level asset tracking, dramatically improving the visibility and functionality of supply networks," Yazdi added.

The EV3-HHI-PAB active-passive mobile platform provides a complete mobile shipment inventory tracking and identification solution. The EV3-HHI-M active mobile RFID platform along with the versatile MC9090g RFID Gen2 passive handheld interrogator forms a new system which features integrated wireless passive RFID, barcode scanning and two-way wireless communication with high functionality ISO18000-7 DASH7 active RFID systems, said company sources.

The new platform enables information about the contents of shipping containers or pallets with barcode or passive ID labels to be scanned, gathered and directly stored in an active RFID tag (News - Alert). End users will be able to add the performance, extended wireless range, reliability and sensing and security capabilities of ISO18000-7 active tags to passive RFID networks. The EV3-HHI-PAB also supports the fixed active-passive RFID infrastructure for the provision of a powerful solution which can optimize network management and other operations.

According to official sources, Evigia uses integrated sensor and ASIC technologies to improve the functionality and cost of wireless and sensing products. These advances improve performance and economize asset-management supply chains and sensing networks. The network's functionality, visibility and security control are enhanced. The hardware products with their small size, higher energy efficiency and low cost enable supply-chain management networks built on these devices to exhibit improved ROI.
